Pros

The majority of J&J employees are friendly and easy to work with. The benefits are also really good.

Cons

The Finance department doesn’t value work/life balance and doesn’t know how to disconnect from work to let people enjoy personal time.

Pros

People are genuinely nice here. Lots of employees-led events including charity walks etc Big name and reputation Good place to gain experience.

Cons

Mainly just maintaining old business systems and applications. Revitalising business is often brought up but not much is happening. Super slow innovation. Simple stuff like ecommerce websites and social sharing are only being slowly introduced right now (years after other companies have been doing it) but touted by management as some huge new thing. No in-house capabilities. Even minor cometic changes have to go through third-party vendors which takes up to months and thousands of dollars to implement. Average salary compensation but extremely poor benefits. Way-below average annual amount for flexible benefits and one can only claim health-related expenses such as dental cleaning or vision care. Company also keeps cutting costs and removing available items that can be claimed. The food stock up in pantry are only wheat biscuits and sugarless tea, which is really pathetic for a Fortune 500 MNC. Turnover rate is pretty high as a result. Not uncommon to hear people leaving for better benefits and more exciting roles.

Pros

Benefits, pay, stock, flex time (unless you work for a baby boomer)

Cons

I always thought working here was going to be the pinnacle of knowledge and technology in my industry. Couldn't be farther from the truth. Focus is on image and projecting a positive corporate culture. Trying to streamline your work is next to impossible because the Directors are so focused on making it to a fully vested pension than your development and certainly don't want to rock the boat.
